Haitham Shedeed: The Importance of Heparin Testing Before Catheterization
Haitham Shedeed, Key Account Manager ASTEMED, shared on LinkedIn.
“The Importance of Heparin Testing Before Cardiac Catheterization.
Performing a Heparin Test before cardiac catheterization is a crucial step to ensure patient safety and procedural success.
It helps assess blood coagulation status and maintain the right balance between preventing clots and minimizing bleeding risks during the procedure.
Key benefits of pre-catheterization heparin testing:
Determines the optimal heparin dosage during the procedure.
Reduces the risk of bleeding or catheter-related thrombosis.
Enhances overall procedural safety and outcomes.
A successful catheterization starts with one essential step — Heparin testing before the procedure.”
